Donald Trump has made a bizarre confession about his own health at an event at the White House.

The US president was addressing a group of firefighters when he went on a tangent about personal vices.

“If you don’t drink or you don’t take drugs or if you don’t smoke, there’s no problem,” Trump said.

“I have other problems, I have some very severe problems. But those are not one of them.”

“I don’t want to add them to the list, 'cos if I did I guarantee I wouldn’t be here right now.”

    Sometimes he has nightmares about all the kids he raped coming back to publicly expose him as the pedo he is; and his creeping dementia causes momentary confusion that maybe it’s real and he’ll go to jail.

    But then Natalie changes his diaper and puts him back to bed with a kiss on his forehead—and as he drifts off he remembers his supporters don’t care if he raped children and he can sleep soundly again.

    The end

      I got that too. He’s speaking about vices and sex is considered a vice. Are we about to get new Epstein files?

    Geez, I’m starting to feel sorry for him…

    “I have some very severe problems. The doctor says my asshole is on the outside now. Look at this. This looks like skin, but it’s not. It’s lining, they call it lining. It’s very beautiful, some say the most beautiful, most natural looking thing that looks like skin but it’s not skin, it’s asshole lining. All over my body. No skin to be seen anywhere, just lining. You think it’s skin but it’s lining. The doctors, they say they’ve never seen anything like it. They want to study it. It’s the mark of a stable genius I think because they want to study it like they study Einstein’s brain. You get to see it on TV but they want to see it up close. Lining, they call it. My asshole lining covering me completely. They say it’s genius. I don’t know, but that’s what they say.”

    My wife works with the elderly. Her current client is a 96 year old man who only has a few days to live due to colon cancer. It’s a hard job and has taken a toll on my wife even if she puts on a brave face. I will say, she is stronger than me. I couldn’t deal with something like that and I consider myself a tough guy.

    Point is. TRUMP IS 80 MOTHERTRUCKING YEARS OLD! What is it was America and electing geriatrics!

      The geriatrics have no problem promising to punish marginalised people. When your world view is based on racism and intolerance that seems a good choice

    I doubt he thinks his pedophillia is a problem. He’s probably not even talking about his health. I bet he considers his biggest problem is his desire to get fucked in the ass.

    “Some say I have the very best illnesses. Biden would say he does, but I do. But I do, the biggest illnesses. One person said to me, they said “Mr Trump, you’re a sick man” and they’re right, I am. Even more than they know!”

    Just don’t croak before the midterms, or the GOP could get an updrift out of getting rid of this boat anchor around their neck.

    It’s fine with me if the midterm results give him a nice stroke that turns him into a vacant banana.

    Tin foil hat moment

    His advisers are likely telling him there’s a high chance that he loses the house and Senate in the midterms, and that he will likely be impeached again. While it’s unlikely he will be removed by the Senate, he may be setting up a scapegoat to step down as president “I’m too sick to be president” as soon as he passes the 2 year mark, so JD Vance can take over and still be eligible for 2 terms after.

    As a narcissist with no shame, this probably won’t happen, but if his (Thiel-backed) advisers are in his ear, he’s at least hearing it frequently.

      Fortunately Vance has the personality of a wet couch cushion and won’t likely be able to motivate the MAGA cultists.

        He doesn’t have the personality of a wet couch cushion, he’s just responsible for making the couch cushions damn and sticky and crusty.

      If he’s a vegetable like the GOP McWhatever guy, we should force precedent that he’s still the acting president until death. No Vance. Just Vegetable In Chief.

    Maybe tangential, but this thought occurred to me after reading this: if Trump is actually aware of his vices then that means there’s a degree of guilt. The question is then, would Trump ever be permitted to admit his guilt? And I don’t mean this necessarily to mean “would we ever accept an admission of guilt/remorse from him” as much as I mean “would the people who surround him ever permit it, or would they simply reinforce the idea that they need from Trump: that he cannot do wrong, etc.?” Because if Trump were to ever feel the sense of conviction and admit his wrongs, those who have hitched themselves to him would also have to admit those things (or at least admit to connecting themselves to a man who is willing to admit his own wickedness) and their lust for power likely won’t let them do that.

    It just seems like a complete circle of awfulness. Surrounding yourself with sycophants not only prevents you from getting honest feedback, it also prevents you from being a better person because the sycophant cannot permit you to change, cannot permit you to admit that the version they embraced was somehow wrong or bad. I’d love to see Trump humbled and repentant, willing to accept the consequences of his actions, and attempt to make what meager amends he can with the time he has left. But I actually don’t think that will ever happen, not only because of his own arrogance, but also due to the people who surround him. He is practically predestined to be awful until the end.

      would Trump ever be permitted

      It’s pretty damned clear by now, it’s not possible to stop him. You can remove him from the camera or position, but he’s going to do/say whatever in the fuck is going through his mind and his base will just cheer.

      By vices, I suspect he means things like drinking and smoking, not moral, ethical, or legal vices, so I doubt there’s any feeling of guilt involved.

    I honestly don’t take this as health concerns. I think it’s a severely depraved thing, like possibly raping more children than we knew or maybe even killing people. Who tf knows. But I don’t think it’s health related. It’s nasty vile evil shit related.

      The part about having 6 ambulance that he’s forbidden to help his biggest supporters, and still for the love of Christ going on about cognitive tests, and apparently still taking them, are absolutely not things healthy people say.

        Absolutely he’s not healthy at all. I just feel he’s talking about other things here, but it’s probably a soup of disease where he’s just talking about himself as a whole tbh now that I have read it again after my breakfast.

          Yeah, these vices give you problems. I’m not going to say my vices as the problem is that I would not be here.

          How do you interpret that as illness?
